Western Engines Cause the

All day Sunday the farmers liv-

line of the Wabash Western railroad,
were kept busy fighting fire, endeav-
oring to protect their fences and
crops of hay. Everything is parched
and as dry as tlnder In that part of
the country, and as a consequence,
and owing to the lack of water or
other leans to extinguish the flames,
most of the work was in vain. A
great deal of fence and hay was de-
stroyed and the damage very great.

hay and a long string of fence. w.
